"Ham on rye, don't nobody worry 'bout me"... I was sure of it, until one day my my older sister laughed uncontrollably in my face saying "'Ham on rye' -- that doesn't even make sense, you idiot!"... I finally got the "I'm Alright" bit, then I felt silly...

How about " You don't need to be COY ROY , just listen to me"????

They do call him rym'in simon after all.....

An eight year old in 1979 doesn't know what the word "coy" means, let alone that it's even a word... but said eight year old most certainly knows about corduroys... brown ones and green ones, to be exact...

Well I have some fearsome memories from grade school concerning some female cohorts who wore corduroys and were thus a constant fire hazard !!! ( now thats a digression!... FEAR the cohorts in corduroys) Anyhow , props to mister Simon . He has the rare distinction of having penned many of what is known as a " Timeless classic"
